Colloquium: Quantum fluctuation relations: Foundations and applications

M Campisi, P Hänggi, P Talkner - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2011 - APS
Two fundamental ingredients play a decisive role in the foundation of fluctuation relations:
the principle of microreversibility and the fact that thermal equilibrium is described by the …

Dissipation bounds all steady-state current fluctuations

TR Gingrich, JM Horowitz, N Perunov, JL England - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Near equilibrium, small current fluctuations are described by a Gaussian distribution with a
linear-response variance regulated by the dissipation. Here, we demonstrate that dissipation …

Statistical mechanics of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles

D Martin, J O'Byrne, ME Cates, É Fodor, C Nardini… - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We study the statistical properties of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this
simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced …

Accessing activity and viscoelastic properties of artificial and living systems from passive measurement

TM Muenker, G Knotz, M Krüger, T Betz - Nature Materials, 2024 - nature.com
Living systems are complex dynamic entities that operate far from thermodynamic
equilibrium. Their active, non-equilibrium behaviour requires energy to drive cellular …

Fluctuating hydrodynamics of chiral active fluids

M Han, M Fruchart, C Scheibner, S Vaikuntanathan… - Nature Physics, 2021 - nature.com
Active materials are characterized by continuous injection of energy at the microscopic level
